Dell Networking S4810 Specifications

Dell Networking S4810

High-performance 10/40GbE top-of-rack switch

High-density, 1RU 48-port 10GbE switch with four 40GbE uplinks and ultra-low-latency, non­blocking performance to ensure line-rate performance; complete with feature-rich Dell Networking
OS and storage optimization for iSCSI, FCoE transit and DCB.

Ultra-low-latency, data center optimized

The Dell Networking S-Series S4810 is an ultra-low-latency
10/40GbE top-of-rack (ToR) switch purpose-built for applications
in high-performance data center and computing environments.
Leveraging a non-blocking, cut-through switching architecture,
the S4810 delivers line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding capacity
with ultra low latency to maximize network performance. The
compact S4810 design provides 48 dual-speed 1/10GbE (SFP+)
ports as well as four 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks to conserve valuable
rack space and simplify the migration to 40Gbps in the data

center core. Priority-based ow control (PFC), data center bridge
exchange (DCBX) and enhance transmission selection (ETS),

coupled with ultra low latency and line rate throughput, make

the S4810 ideally suited for iSCSI storage, FCoE transit and DCB
environments. In addition, the S4810 incorporates multiple
architectural features that optimize data center network exibility,
eciency and availability, including I/O panel to PSU airow or
PSU to I/O panel airow for hot/cold aisle environments, and

redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.

The S4810 also supports Dell Networking’s Open Automation

Framework, which provides advanced network automation and
virtualization capabilities for virtual data center environments.

An Active Fabric™ design with S4810 switches can be built out

to create scalable, high-performance 10/40GbE data center

networks. The resiliency of an Active Fabric is superior to legacy,

centralized core architectures, since the failure of a single node

within a CLOS network cannot bring down the entire switching

fabric.

The S4810 is supported with Active Fabric Manager (AFM), which
helps automate design and deployment of multi-tier fabrics. AFM

helps customers manage multiple fabrics from a single console,

enabling a unied view of the entire fabric, when combined
with Dell OMNM and other management solutions. With AFM,
over 25 templates can be customized for specic workload

and deployment scenarios, easily delivering active/active L2
or L3 designs for 1/10/40G with Dell Z9000 to rack and blade

infrastructures (including Dell MXL).

Key applications

• High-density 10GbE ToR server aggregation in high­performance data center environments

• Design with the Z-Series fabric core switch to create a
at, two-tier, non-blocking 1/10/40GbE data center
network design

• Design a Clos-based Active Fabric with Z9000 switch in
leaf and spine with the S4810/S4820T 10GbE ToR switches

for cost-eective aggregation of 10GbE uplinks

• Enterprise iSCSI (iSCSI over DCB)

Key features

• 1RU high-density 10/40GbE ToR switch with 48 dual-speed
1/10GbE (SFP+) ports and four 40GbE (QSFP+) uplinks
(totaling 64 10GbE ports with breakout cables)

• 1.28Tbps (full-duplex) non-blocking, cut-through switching
fabric delivers line-rate performance under full load with
800ns latency

• Scalable L2 and L3 Ethernet switching with QoS and a full

complement of standards-based IPv4 and IPv6 features

• VLT and eVLT: multi-chassis link to enable up to 576 10GE
(3:1 over subscription)

• User port stacking support for up to six units

• Open Automation Framework adds VM awareness as well as
automated conguration and provisioning capabilities to
simplify the management of virtual network environments

• Modular Dell Networking OS software delivers inherent
stability as well as advanced monitoring and serviceability functions

• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans

• Hardware support for DCB, FIPS operation
